    I’m pretty sure this saying was around before Frank Ocean popularized it. My African dad used to say this and other African proverbs to me and my siblings all the time when we kids, and I’m 37. I’m glad he introduced this concept to a younger generation though.

    You are a gem for every young woman and man. And even to a mature person like me. Your story is amazing. You seem to have made huge strides which would probably have occurred just with growth, but you really put bells and whistles on the journey! Just awesome. I’d love to hear your journey on your academic successes and your views on managing money! So sorry for the wounds you carried so many years! But grateful to God you learned how to cope and then some more! Blessings in your amazing future beloved! You have a lot to give. Don’t stop telling your story! I’m sure it was very motivating for so many to make changes in their lives. Blessings..😃😃😃😃🙏🏽🙏🏽

    The "set goals and shut up" hit me so different. I have always felt like I do so well with my goal progression until the moment I start sharing small successes with everyone and trying to pull people along with me. This happens in so many instances, such as your weight loss journey, business goals, savings... I swear... it happens all the time. I said the next time I diet, I will keep it to myself. Thank you so much for the confirmation of my thought process on this.

I will speak so much of this “pouring into others” while not actively elevating myself. And I know better. Thank you for the reality check. I just cashed it in… starting today 5.7.23.

    I was 6 minutes into the video and had to stop. By the time I was 21 my Mother had passed away and my father was already re-married with another family. I was angry about my Mother passing away so young and the same year she passed I got pregnant with my first child. I have never really leaned on my family financially and I wish sometimes I had. I just walked into my kitchen and told my daughter that you so eloquently were speaking to my life. As TheBossyChickSix14 stated I NEEDED to hear this today 5/9/2023. I have dedicated my young years to husband(s) yes plural and family and my children often times putting myself last. Now I sit and wonder where has my life been and where am I going? But God, after listening to you so many things have been made clear, like a light finally turned on!!! Thank you for being so vulnerable and willing to share your story! God's continued Love and Blessings for you and your family and to those others that need to hear your story.

What you said about anxiety and gratitude not being able to co-exist.. and if you make a point of acknowledging gratitude several times a day it will combat/counteract your anxiety. This tip is powerful to me and I am going to practice it. Thank you for sharing. Your pass experiences have made you a wise young woman. Negative turned into positive. That's awesome👏🏾👍🏾

    Awesome tips Kim! As a Therapist/Coach, I always tell my clients that change requires change. If you want something different you have to DO something different. We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds- Romans 12:2. The walls that we build to keep out pain also block us from experiencing joy. It's time to begin to tear down those walls and start living an authentic life... in peace :) Gratitude is key!!!

You used to hide behind "the wall" out od fear of being hurt, you avoided sharing the "deeper" info about your life, you have been on social media long enough to know that you can get hate for even a make up video. Still you decided to be vulnerable, you decided to share things which weren't easy for you, because you know this video could help someone. I can feel the warmth, positive vibes and honesty in you. You don't have to TRY to be like the door guy, you ARE the door guy. Thank you for this video

I’ve only met my dad once at the age 19 and he got mad I didn’t know who he was and me and him literally were fist fighting in the grocery store 😮 growing up without a father as a girl can lead to early sexual activity, ✔️, teen pregnancy, ✔️, depression and anxiety, ✔️ and substance abuse. I teach my kids this because now I’m a single mom with daughters and I refuse for them to be the statistic. ❤

    Kim, I’m so glad you decided to make this video. I felt the same as you growing up in terms of never feeling like I fit in and growing up in a single family household. I know in previous videos you mentioned Baltimore as your hometown. I’m also from Baltimore. I’ve tried so many things to upgrade my life such as going to college, getting my certifications, moving to multiple states trying to figure I where I belong, building my professional experience, etc. but it always seems like I come up short because those opportunities I went after just fell through. I feel like the economy is to blame. Things are so out of reach and so expensive nowadays; it’s so hard to build wealth, especially if you don’t have a talent, spouse, or resources to help you thrive. I feel like I did all the right things in my life. I went to school, I have a job, I never got in trouble with the law, I’m in good health, I have supportive family…all in all, I’m blessed, but I’m still struggling immensely! It’s hard out here in these streets! I just want to thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable on this platform. I feel you are extremely talented and have a lot to offer and I’m so glad you are sharing your story with us to elevate other people who may be having a hard time. Keep doing you and uplifting others! -Brandi

    I appreciate your testimony and transparency! I grew up in the foster care system, struggle to build friendships , was a loner as well. I don’t get along well with my 2 sisters only my younger brother. You shield so much insight and I’m still working on me, moved to a better area, in school, still growing! after falling out with sisters yet again 😫 so I’ve decided to be at peace with them ( Doing it for me) blocking them out of my life and focus on me. What you said forgiving isn’t always easy, you are so right!!!! being at peace, moving on I’m cool with! Thank you for sharing 💚💚

    I so needed this. Scared of big (but positive) life changes coming. Moving to a new state, trying to figure out student debt, still gotta go to grad school, helping bfs parents pay rent while I stay with them...I feel so inexperienced and worried. I grew up in a dysfunctional household and have been having some issues with trauma resurfacing. I keep saying my parents this, my parents that. I need to keep being reminded that yes things were crappy but I'm an adult and I'm responsible for me. I can fix myself and work through the trauma to start healing BUT I also have to stop with the momma and daddy blaming. Got dealt a crappy hand of cards but it's my job to win the game 🙌 Thank you ❤

But it is absolutely necessary in order to make life changes and one’s dysfunctional view of the world.

Long story short; I'm angry all the time and my health isn't doing to good and everyday I'm dragging the day. After I finish writing this comment I'm getting started. You are the motivation I truly needed in my life. I can't put my finger on it but it's something about you that just woke my behind up today.

    I just wanted to say have watched your channel for many years and this is probably one of the best videos I’ve come across. It’s so informative, so just natural in genuine and real it’s like you should have a KZreadr Award from this video, not because you told us your business, but because of your transparency, your realness, and how you were selfless in this, you are using what you’ve learned to help others and make them aware of things they may be aware of, but have not decided to acknowledge fully. So, I thank you and I appreciate your video and time. Everything about your channel is completely dope girl Thanks. Also, congrats at getting to the point of working for yourself that is a completely amazing and she lives in one day. If you don’t mind, please help others that are trying to figure out how to get started in this KZread journey you know like what things they need me what programs what algorithm they need to pay attention to detail know what information they’re interested in. Again, thank you for being an amazing woman and an amazing black woman.

Over the past few years, I started to realized if I wanted to come out of depression and better my anxiety I have to detox from drama and just overall bad vibes. I needed positivity in my life when possible. I have actually had a multiple family members tell me what my boundaries should be. That being said I had to work on my worth and how I show up. Command respect and speak up for me. This is hitting me deep! Thank you so much! ❤
